Pandan dirty soda anyone? 😍💚

This recipe is an elevated take on the viral trend, using a craft lemon-lime soda, homemade pandan syrup, and a splash of coconut cream. Garnish with a few edible flower blossoms for a gorgeous finish.

Make room, Madagascar and Sri Lanka.
Ugandan vanilla has arrived on the scene.

Lush and aromatic, these vanilla beans are plump, supple, and deeply flavorful, with notes of fig and milk chocolate. We source them directly from smallholder farms in Uganda's central and western regions, where the loamy, volcanic soil produces a sweet, creamy flavor like no other.

Come see why vanilla lovers are taking notice, and why this rising star of the vanilla world is finally getting the attention it deserves.

In response to the devastating 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Colombia, we’re donating a portion of sales from our Colombian-origin products, including Annatto, Pipilongo Peppercorn, Zenú Spice, and Verano Lemon Pepper, to relief efforts through World Central Kitchen where they are organizing support for disaster relief around the world.

Colombia is an especially important part of the Curio community. We have longstanding relationships with farmers there and have recently begun working with a new packing partner in the country. Our primary supplier is a woman-owned spice company in Cali. While her family is safe, some of her friends have lost their homes. Our direct contacts and farming partners are safe as well, but we know that many others have been deeply affected.

Your support alongside ours is instrumental in helping bring relief to these communities as they assess damage and make plans to rebuild. Alongside our contribution, you can choose a sum to donate directly to World Central Kitchen’s relief efforts here.

We also invite you to learn more about the people and places behind our Colombian spices in our Curio Origins documentary featuring Colombia (can be found on our website!).

Women in Spice Spotlight: Ruwanmali Samarakoon-Amunugama

When Ru thinks back to her favorite food memories as a child, she's reminded of the meals her mother packed for family picnics.

"My family used to love going on road trips when we were growing up in Canada," she recalls. "And the day before the road trip my mom would make rice and curries, packed in banana leaves… We would take them on our trip and when we would get down in a scenic place somewhere, we would unwrap these beautiful packages of rice and curries, chicken curry, or eggplant or coconut. It is really a true comfort food, because of the aroma and the feeling it gives you. It's like getting a little gift."

In an effort to preserve the traditional recipes and techniques her mother learned while growing up in Sri Lanka's central highlands, Ru began compiling them for her family. That passion project grew into Milk, Spice & Curry Leaves: Hill Country Recipes From the Heart of Sri Lanka, the first Sri Lankan cookbook published in North America. Centered on the cuisine of Kandy Province, where spice is the foundation of every meal, the book celebrates a rich culinary tradition shaped over centuries by countless spice growers and home cooks.

The connection to Kandy is one we share: Many of the spices that we sell we source directly from the same lush hill country that has inspired Ruwan's family’s cooking for generations. In honor of this, we teamed up with Ru to collaborate on Ru’s Dark Roasted Curry Powder, a Sri Lankan curry blend that showcases the vibrant flavors of Sri Lanka and the exceptional spices and relationships that make them possible - treat yourself to a jar today, we promise you won't be disappointed!

You asked, we answered!

Pandan is the ingredient behind the vibrant cakes, fragrant waffles, silky custards, and adored sweets found across Southeast Asia. Beloved throughout the region, pandan brings a naturally vibrant green color and an aroma that's somewhere between vanilla, warm buttered popcorn, and fresh leaves. Comforting and endlessly versatile, it's a distinctive flavor that has no true equivalent.

Our new Pandan Powder makes it easy to bring that unmistakable color and fragrance to everything from cakes and cookies to ice cream, lattes, and pancakes. Once you've baked with it, you'll wonder how you ever got by without it. 💚
